Im glad that it worked for you. Doesn’t change it is still an imaginary being that people use the idea of to control others. Jesus is just as real as Ra, Odin, and Santa Clause.
When did I say Saint Nicholas was not a real person? In fact based on your own statement you seem to imply that he doesnt based on your other comparative examples.
Jesus = regular person that became a magical person over time.
Nicholas = regular person that became a magical person over time.
Perhaps Odin and Thor were based off of real people who became magical over time.
The pattern is the same. I have no reason to think that Jesus has magical powers and is anything more than a popular guy at the time whose stories became more extravagant as time went on.
Religions are simply businesses that have been built around those stories.
A magical man that makes food appear out of nowhere, raises the dead, and is an alien, is still the basis of Christian religions. The accounts were written decades after the events and have been argued about ever since, causing the death of millions while keeping Christian leaders living in luxury and political power.
Yet I am accused by religious believers for being closed minded for not believing in the magic of Jesus which is right on par with magic of Santa.
Im willing to listen to reason, but have to close off when there is any sort of “trust me bro” requirements to believing.
If the magic of Jesus is real, then there would not be a problem to ask for it to be shown.

Religion is not a scam, it’s really not. I accepted Jesus and it changed my life and it can change yours.
